2023-APHIS-03754-F Wiggin, Perri - I am contacting you about a canary flock I 

have been seeing. The birds were imported 

from Spain to Miami on February 18, 2023. 

They were released from quarantine on March 

18 (or possibly the 15th) , 2023. Several of 

these birds died at the quarantine facility 

(approx 23/36 of the total birds have died 

now, I believe 8-9 died in quarantine) and 

have been dying since being released. We sent 

the most recent bird out for necropsy and it 

came back as positive for canarypox. We 

would like to know the dates these birds died 

at the USDA facility, we are trying to trace 

transmission to find out if they need to find a 

new breeder in Spain. Here is the information 

I have on the patient: Client:
